A warm host in Raleigh, North Carolina – and opponent #19 on my cross-country wrestling trek: the formidable (and downright kind) RavenMidnight.

This one was difficult to pin down, as our original meetup was slated for Atlanta. But as wrestle fortunes unfold, an opportunity for a 2-on-1 presented in a beatdown rematch with NCStarfox (trip opponent #1), who just happened to be Raven's jobber. A guy never knows how the match will go, but after thousands of miles, it was a nice, relaxing evening chatting it up with Raven as he and I manhandled, wrecked, demolished and obliterated NCStarfox ("You okay down there?" "Yes, sir!"). Initially more teammate in crime, Raven swiftly learned new holds to add to his arsenal with our buddy and smart practice dummy.

But no, no, no, Raven wasn't getting off easy. For future matches, the guy needed to feel these moves. Incredibly, he never knows pain – and rarely shows the brunt of the intensity he's taking. But after dialing it up, he did finally, happily tap when I lifted him off the mats in my elevated crucifix, as well as in a neck-bending full-on Nagata Lock and, of course, your textbook abdominal stretch.

He also tried an avocado facial the next morning before work ("It felt good!"). Wrestle hugs and on the road again now. But here's knowing what we're showing will be the fun fates of his future opponents. You've all been warned...

Thanks, RavenMidnight!

Had the honor and pleasure of meeting this wonderful gentleman on his travels. He is such a sweet gentleman and a wonderful man. I had such a blast wrestling him, and I look forward to a rematch with him 😁

As I opened the hotel room door, there he stood. A vision of loveliness, 6-foot-4 and full of muscle. Finally after a year of chatting, we meet for real. Such a sweet handsome guy, such a good wrestler, such a stud. Meet him if at all possible. You can thank me later.

We got started later than we had planned, so our wrestling time was limited. But Wrestlingbear51 is a blast to roll with. A very strong and skilled grappler, wrestlingbear51 is able to adjust his intensity to ensure both he and opponent have a fun, safe time. Off the mats he is truly one of the kindest and thoughtful human beings I've ever had the privilege of meeting. Highly recommend and looking forward to getting on the mats again with wrestlingbear51.

Had a excellent time meeting Recwrestler. He has a great well defined muscular physique, and the strength you would expect from such a nice body 💪

We had quite a few rounds, some very lengthy, and RW came out on top.....this time! 😈

It was super easy to arrange the meet, communication was excellent, and I appreciated RW driving to the other side of Sydney to make it happen. A very nice guy off the mats, easy to talk too, and pretty funny......for an Englishman 😛

I would love to wrestle RW again whenever I am in Sydney, and highly recommend that others do also.

Chas is toned and very strong. - great triceps and very muscular legs. I was lucky to avoid the scissors. Will look forward to future matches, and he is a worthy opponent who learns quickly and developing technical skills. Off the mat, he is fun and a nice and gentle man.

I fought him in my last travel to CABA. He has a athletic and flexible body, also strong. We had a great match and I would like to repeat it. When he isn't fighting, he is a pleasant guy. Hope we can meet again.

It was a pleasure to meet ItsGoTime (Mike). He is a very friendly and energetic young guy. We wrestled for about an hour and built up a good sweat. Mike is fairly new to wrestling so he is still learning his way around the mats and was eager to learn some new submissions. He is strong and does a ton of pushups every day so he is putting some mass on his pecs. He is smart and easy to talk with. I highly recommend a match with Mike if you have the opportunity.

Was fun to meet adiboy while I trained in Belgium.

There were good vibes and great banter during the training. We had a short but fun roll. We definitely need a longer match though when we meet again 😁.

Also, I’m happy that it was just grappling as I probably would have had no chance if boxing and punches were involved 😂.

Hope to see you again 😁

We sparred some time ago at Gleasons and we had a great time at it. I would luv to glove up with him again.
